Taking The Bible Seriously And Not Literally
I love the Bible! I have written on this blog of my love for God’s word. (see https://godwrestler.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/bible-study-as-a-subversive-act/) Most of my blogs contain a verse or two. I believe, support, and promote reading the bible on our own in community. Let me explain: We should read the Bible on our own, then bring our insights into …
Blog Changes
You may notice that this blog looks different. It’s not as dark or stark as the previous look. I hope you like the new look and it is more appealing to you. Please look around and peek at my thoughts. I am sure you will find something to like, feel free to share and comment. …
At Church
This week at church, I began my class on the St. Francis. I am no teacher. I am not a pastor. I am not a trained theologian. I have no formal theological training. I am smart, passionate and well read. The St. Francis prayer has helped me connect to God and I believe this prayer …
By Faith Alone
Sola fide is the teaching that justification is received by faith only, without any mixture of or need for good works, saving faith is always evidenced, but not determined, by good works. Saving faith leads to good works. Doing good is not the cause of but the fruit of our faith in Jesus. Christians are …
I Am Not Doomed!
If you, dear reader read my previous Doomed (blessed) To Be Single you may know that this has been a tough week. I liked a girl. She’s amazing. Awesome is the word I used with her. She was flattered, wants to be my friend, and yet she doesn’t want to date me. That is fine. …
Doomed To Be Single
Ok. This has been on my mind for some time. It’s not new. This post will not be for all—you might want to switch the channel, click on another page, or turn your computer off and do something else. I am going to get real. This is one of my struggles. Since this my blog …
Two Books
I am always looking for some book that will open up the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a new way. That will help me see Our Lord and His message in a new way that will help me in following Jesus today and how I can be a living example of the gospel of Grace. …
Be The Church!
Church is not required. What is required is living fully, loving wastefully, and serving radically. Maybe, it’s time to stop going to church and start being the church. It is time to stop sitting in pew, singing songs, listening to sermons and start being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world and living …
Define Happiness
We want to be happy. Thousands or maybe it’s millions of books are published yearly on this subject. The entire self-help section in the bookstores could be relabeled ‘How to be Happy’ and it would it as accurate if not more. Daily I see Facebook posts about being or not being happy. Yet, this most …
